        "text": "You generally need a general contractor whenever a project involves multiple trades, structural changes, or coordinated rough-ins alongside finish work. For example, moving a shower or adding a basement bathroom involves framing, drywall, waterproofing, tile setting, plumbing, and electrical. A general contractor serves as a single point of contact to supervise the site, organize specialized sub-trades, and complete finish carpentry directly. If your project is strictly a single minor task, like patching a small drywall hole or painting a bedroom, a straightforward handyman visit usually suffices.",
